Damn - threw a rod

...silly question, but wouldn't it be cheaper to just get a nice new mexican crate motor and have a perfectly reliable engined car again? I knwo it would be hard to move back to a stocker power wise...but it

Man, I'm very sorry to hear that. I know a guy that put a Mazda rotary engine in his. He thinks he has the performance/reliability licked.

It would be cheaper, but right now getting a new car is more reasonable (plus it will be nice to have a/c (its HOT down here) and be able to handle some of our mountains around here at speed (and not get run over)). Seems like everytime I sink a grand into the car I get nothing but problems. I used to like working on the car, but now it has become a chore (its my only mode of transportation) - and when that happens I know its time to stop for a while. I need the second car so I don't have to worry about it. In a couple years when I have some more cash, and time, I will pick up the wrenches again and get it going. I'll NEVER get rid of it, I just need to take a break from it for now...
